I've got a serious dilemma

Do it

Sounds like he gets allowance from his parents. Why is a real job just not even an option for you?

What the good pros have that you don't have is massive experience from studying and playing 10s of thousands of hours overs years and a similar amount just studying. I believe good winners are going to be among the top 1-.1 percentile in intelligence + have other somewhat rare characteristics. Not saying you aren't smart but be honest with yourself and also realize you haven't been playing long at all.

Like some people said play in your free time. Read up on as much as you can. What stats mean. Valuebetting vs bluffing. Thinking in ranges. Pot odds. Implied odds. Reverse implied odds. Combinatorics. The basics. Then you will get into more advanced stuff like balance, equity realization and how it affects hand selection etc. (R). Using software like solvers to find the best strats and sizings for different board textures, actions, and runouts. Knowing at least some unexploitable river frequencies (ie. U pot river; u need 2/3 value 1/3 bluff to make villain indifferent with bluffcatchers stealing the equity already in the pot) and then to expand on that through the earlier streets ultimately creating a strong mixed strategy as you try to approximate an unbeatable game theory optimal strategy (the ultimate goal - Noone is there).

I imagine you think about few of those things and those are just some examples off the top of my head not nearly encompassing everything. Just to give you a hint of how far you have to go.

Keep in mind you don't just have to beat the guy next to you; you have to beat the rake too which generally has a much higher winrate than your opponents especially at the stakes you will be playing. Games aren't as soft as they used to be so rake is just becoming more and more of a factor as the field improves. Nowadays lower stakes are barely beatable and it takes much much more to move up in the old bankroll safe low RoR style.

Plus bots

You seem to have some passion and drive. I will say that is very important. Can't really just play as a means to an end unless you are already really good and have just become jaded and don't have something better or nearly as good to do to make $

You might be the next IsilDurrr and we just don't know it yet. You have to find out

Grow up, little boy. Not only are you a stupid emotional fool and rambling incoherently, you're also clearly an obnoxious tilt monkey. What was I thinking? Please, play more!! Funnel all your money into the game it's your best chance of success. You're totally right, it's clear to see you will never make it in the real world, there's no option but to pick up poker. Please, start posting your hands in the hand section on the right for advice and sign up for some rakeback deals here. Bla bla, he calls me emotional but starts insulting himself, LOL... I didn't even read the rest of your post, I'll just stick with the help of actually serious people who have something useful to say, and you are clearly not one of them.

why not challenge ggplz to a HU death match and see who is the better at the pokerz

Well, I do have confidence in myself but that doesn't make me think yet I'll be the next big poker star... But it's interesting, I've read that even famous players like Gus Hanssen and Phil Ivey were once big losing players online... Ivey is even known to be a cashgame genius, while he was once a losing player online in times that were still a lot easier than now... That shows how relatively all these results or some wins/losses are. But I think I know what my next step will be, I'm gonna get myself a great poker coach (specialized in cashgames), to step up my game... Here are some of my stats I kept, I heard they aren't that great and show a big leak in my game... It's a bit hard to believe you still played bad when you made a really nice profit in a short time. It could be true, but the good thing of that is that I can still improve a lot, and take my winnings and earnings to a higher level! I still think I've not been "just lucky" cuz I had these good results for several days continuously, when playing many hours a day and multiple tables... Could you really be that lucky that you keep on winning when playing bad, for days and many many hands? I'm not expierenced so feel free to enlighten me if I see things wrong Thanks for the advices.

Like baal said, you don't necessarily get your true winrate until you've played like, a million hands. I think it's quite unlikely that the statistics will be very off if you're above 100k as well tbh, but you're not even close. 500 hands, in the context of determining whether you're gonna be a long term winner in poker, is virtually nothing. 10000 doesn't cut it either.

You're like, 10+ years late on the poker as an easy source of income. today, it's immensely difficult to succeed, demanding a really.. meticulous type of personality, you need to consistently work to identify and correct any flaw in your play, you need to be exceptionally calm (as to not deviate from your preferred play during stretches of bad luck). Going 10-15 years back in time, it was one of those, chill ways of earning money,could just sit in your basement, grind a little, get a little high, life is sweet. Now, it's hard work, margins are way smaller, it's not enough to just understand pot odds and positioning, you have to completely map out all your hand ranges for all positions against all hand ranges. It's tough. And, adding to that, it seems like the opportunities are gonna continue to dwindle - ai's are starting to beat the game, rake has increased to the point where building a bankroll is seriously tough.. Basically, even if you have all the personal abilities that correspond with 'really good poker player', even if you work hard and apply yourself correctly, you're looking at months worth of time before you're good enough to consistently win, and then we're still talking about small amounts of money because you have a small bankroll and beating the rake is tough. And then, two years or whatever down the line, who even knows how profitable it is.

Follow your dream or do whatever, it's just.. IF you have the skills required to succeed in poker, you most likely have the skills required to succeed in other areas of life as well. And those other areas are gonna be much easier to build a future career based on.

We have a new Neilly on our hands, baws

tldr: i play micro/low stakes and make 100-300 dollars then lose it back. i want to be successful but i'm not sure if i'm suitable to be a poker player.

you have a long way to go my friend. if you're losing it back, you're doing something wrong. it's called expected value and variance. if you play a large enough sample and you still aren't profitable, then you know the answer. if you want to learn, there are plenty of free and paid resources online.

I like OP he's got Moxie

op is actually doug polk trolling. next comes the sick graphs played at micro.

I'll give some legit advice for a noob:

1) Always have 30-50 buyins for your stakes; double that for PLO or tournaments. This will lower your tilt and tears.
2) Wait for a good hand, good position, or a good spot.
3) Play a lot.
4) Find a game and format you like and try to become an expert in it. Cash games, tournies, sngs, other forms of poker.
5) Play live poker sometimes if you can. It's softer, but you need a bigger bankroll since there are no microstakes.
6) Understand these terms: "variance", "bankroll management", "position", "hand range", "equity", "icm".
7) Lots of good old video footage online that shows solid strategies.

Most legit advice for newbs atm is to get a real job

LP.net has become cynic as fuck lol


500 hand sample hahaha
